Product & Application
General Information
Tiles by Sabine Marcelis extend the designer’s colour universe into glass — a material defined by light, tone, and depth. Thirteen signature shades, balancing saturated and desaturated tones, are translated into luminous tiles that pair effortlessly with matching Blēo paints.
Each tile is produced in two finishes: a frosted matte that diffuses light with softness, and a clear gloss that plays with reflection. Colour is applied to the reverse of the glass for perfect consistency, while the material’s translucency adds depth and luminosity.
The collection is available in three formats — 10×10 cm, 10×20 cm, and 10×30 cm — and adapts seamlessly to walls, ceilings, and bespoke applications. Monochrome fields, tonal gradients, or a mix of gloss and matte can be composed into refined surface landscapes.
Crafted to order in Italy, the tiles are slip-rated (R9 for gloss, R10 for matte) and finished with precise detailing.

Installation & Grouting
Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate is well-compressed, dry, and free from grease, oil, dust, or loose material. For outdoor or wet environments, prepare the surface with a suitable waterproof membrane. Moisture levels should be checked with an appropriate instrument and must not exceed 2%. Residual damp may result in visible spots or colour changes. Glass tiles should be applied to a flat, even surface with a consistent background colour. For best results, the surface may be painted white and sealed with PVA or an equivalent product.
Variation
A small degree of variation is inherent to this product and considered part of its character. We recommend opening all boxes before installation and planning the layout on a dry surface in advance.
Installation
Glass tiles must be installed with a minimum 2 mm grout line; smaller spacing is not suitable. Wider joints can be chosen as a design decision. Grout lines are necessary to allow for expansion and contraction — glass tiles cannot be butt-jointed.
Use grout and adhesive in the same colour for a consistent result. Apply adhesive with a notched trowel to fully cover the back of each tile, inserting 2 mm spacers during installation. Clean excess adhesive regularly with water and a soft sponge, and remove spacers before grouting.
Maintain a 2 mm gap at internal corners and around trims to reduce the risk of cracking. After grouting, clean the surface with water and remove any residue once dry. Finish corners and trims with silicone or mastic in the same colour as the grout.
Maintenance & Care
Clean tiles regularly with mild soap and water or a neutral cleaner. Avoid acids, caustics, harsh fillers, or abrasives, as these may damage the surface.
